The Girl's Guide to Vampires by Kate MacAlister My 1st attempt at Katie MacAlister didn't go so well, but so many people sang her praises that I decided to give her another try. I read The Girl's Guide, the first in her Dark Ones series, and well, I'm still not impressed. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. She didn't develop the characters enough to make me care about them. The story line, though typical for a vampire romance, was interesting enough, but the beginning of the book hinted at a steamy triangle that never materialized. In fact, the vampire seemed kind of nerdy and pathetic. I have the next book in the series and I will read it, but I'm not dying to sink my teeth into it-pun intended. Kudos to whomever comes up with the titles, let's just hope her writing improves so that the books are just as witty & entertaining.
